I hope they ask how smoothly your spouse has to drive
the snowmobile while you hold your breath so when you
squeeze off a round you don't miss the moose.

This will throw Biden for a total loss, I can see him now
jabbering about Bullwinkle rearing his head in Delaware.

I am certain the last half hour will be devoted to resource
limits halting the economies of the world that are based
on constant growth and how each candidate proposes
how to artfully use credit and subsidized consumption to
push these resource limits far beyond the event horizon
of all of the people on earth, at least until Nov. 5, 2008.

I will also wait for the classic moderator line:

"Senator Biden, would you please stop beating this
subject to death and the afterlife long enough so
that Governor Palin can say something so horrible
it is not even wrong?"

The reason we have Palin on the ticket right now is because the GOP wasn't about to let McCain have a pro-choice VP (or someone who was formerly pro-choice but had since "changed his mind"). That one factor had more weight than other considerations, like foreign policy experience, etc.

What really gets me angry is that Republicans want to eliminate abortions but at the same time, Bush is pushing laws to let doctors and pharmacists deny birth control to women! So no abortions but no birth control either. OK, so I'll just tell my husband "Sorry, no sex". Most forms of birth control are expensive (even condoms), esp for those without insurance. Last time I checked (a long time ago!) the Pill was about $45 per month without insurance and $28 with insurance. I'm sure it's a lot more now.

If we really want to reduce the number of abortions, let's get serious and promote free/ low cost birth control and adoption.
Also, if you want every child to be born, then you better get serious about funding for women's and children's services. (such as child abuse prevention, etc) We have an epidemic of child abuse and neglect in the US (which is only getting worse as the economy tanks).

The latest statistics on abortions show that over half are obtained by women who already have one child. Also, rates are higher for black and hispanic women. Let the GOP investigate why this is and target those populations with "Be a man, wear a condom" type of campaign. Or let's promote FREE permanant forms of bc (vasectomy or tubal ligation) for folks who don't want any more kids. Oh, wait, you're a man and you won't get a vasecctomy? Then you're part of the problem. I'm lucky because my insurance covers vas. for a small fee and my husband has agreed to get one.

Personally, I prefer to base my vote on more than one or two issues. Abortion and taxes are not the only things we need to consider right now!

WTF is up with FossilDope? Are you kidding me? He's kidding right?
It's me, I am not getting his sarcasm.... He's being sarcastic right?
Why are you on this site you freakin moron! All of your twisted ideas are exactly what's wrong and you can't even see it....
6.7 billion people on the rock and we are crashing into a freakin cement wall of resource depletion and food scarcity and you think abortion should be illegal? Come on... let's think about it.... you Republicans don't want welfare and you do want every under-educated young woman to have to have the unwanted baby which forces her into the program that you want to abolish....
WOW.
